editJoan's mother Isabella had previously been the child bride of Richard II of England, and was the daughter of Charles VI of France. When Richard II was deposed and died in imprisonment, Isabella married Joan's eventual father Charles in 1406, at the ages of 16 and 11. Joan had no full siblings, and it was not until her father's third marriage that her half siblings would be born, 25 years after her death: Marie d'Orleans, Louis XII of France and Anne d'Orleans. Joan's mother died giving birth to her.
